House Calls, #998, January 18, 2026: Pink Elephants

The purported health benefits of Pink Himalayan Salt are legion but alas dissolves away when searching for evidence. Indeed, people who exclusively use this instead of regual iodized table salt run the risk of iodine deficiency.

Also, a ruling on the case of Dr. Ma who spent time and effort organizing vaccine clinics during the pandemic, was made in her favour. The Ministry of Health, having spent your health dollars on this case is now appealing the ruling and spending more for naught.
